Jerks, Suspicious Employee's, and a Mermaid...

My best friends are slowly coming in to town from college and I'm so excited about it! Allie, Aloo, and Amber are all home right now, and Rachael is on her way home now. Monday night the A-crew and I decided to go to Dinner at Wingers. Delicious place it is! We laughed and gossiped like we used to do every other day in high school, except now our conversations were filled with stupid professors, assignments due this next week, and of course our latest eye candy. As we finished dinner, Aloo was off to hang out with one of her old guy friends from high school.

I was driving Amber and Allie, so we decided we were gunna go hot tubbing at the Shilo like old times. It was not unfrequent for us to find ourselves at the Shilo quite often over the summer. Good times. First we stopped by my house to get my swimming suit. Wait....I live in rexburg....my swim suits are all in rexburg...So I had to dig through Maddi's swim suits, without her knowing, other wise she'd never let me forget, " That one time I let you borrow my swim suit." Maddi only had a swim suit top...now what?! I told my parents i couldn't find any bottoms, and they told me I couldn't go swimming without bottoms....parents, go figure! So My dad and brother threw a bunch of male swim suits at me and told me to take my pick.. I took a couple and said I'd wear the one that looked the cutest! Typical of me. They both Rolled their eyes, and We were off the Ambers to see if we could pull a swim suit together for her. Amber ran in, and minutes later out she came with a mismatched swim suit. Mismatched was okay because we would all be mismatched, pulling together whatever we could find. As we were pulling away from Ambers house, allie announced she was sick. She thinks maybe she she got food poisoning from wingers...who knows! I dropped her off at her house, adn she said if she started feeling better she would catch up with us a little later.

Amber and I were pros at getting into the Shilo for hot tubbing. We go int he "guest" door...we're guests right? then we would get whoever was already in the pool to open the door. Well we go in the guest door as usual and to the door to the pool. Then we see that there are 5 guys in the hot tub....perfect! guys always let us in right off the bat no questions asked! It pays to be a girl sometimes! Well amber waves at the guys and motions for them to open the door. They all just look at us, and wave back. What?! These jerks weren't gunna let us in? Seriously? Crap now what? We stood there in shock for a minute then we went back out to the car.

We decided we would try another hotel...we weren't gunna let these guys ruin our plans of hot tubbing tonight! We thought maybe the Red Lion would work. We arrived at the Red lion and decided to walk in the lobby pretending to be looknig for Amber's keys. We did this perfectly...we walk right in and right past the girl working at the front desk. i think she was a littl confused. We found the spa! Yes!!!! wait...another problem. No one was in the spa to let us in! Dang it! Now what do we do? We had to walk past the fron desk again....now the girl would know something was up. We decided to stop and ask the employee if any keys had been turned in. She looked at us funny and said no. We walked out. wow this just wasn't our night.

We were determined to go hot tubbing so we decided to try another hotel. We went to the hotel by the under pass, i think it was a days in or something. We decided to check and see if there was anyone in the pool before we made an attempt at getting past the front desk people. Amber walks up to the windows from the outside, looking into the pool room and sees nothng...for a seond...then a leg comes out of the water. We decided that even if they would let us in, we didn't wanna hot tub with them... A little discouraged we decided to drive past some other hotels and see if we could see people in the pool. Most of the pools were empty!

We decided to try one more. The guest house. It has a lounge in it, so if the front desk worker asked, we were just gonig to the lounge. We walked past the front desk, the blonde worker said welcome! and we just walked right past her. Then we wandered around the hotel until we found a door that said spa. We had found it!!!! We go in, and find that there wasn't a bathroom to change. We left the spa to find a bathroom. We wandered yet again and found nothing!

We decided that maybe the guys had left the pool at the shilo, and we would go back there and hope someone else would let us in. so we left the guest house, and made the discovery that the side doors from the outside don't lock! Perfect! If the guys were still at the Shilo, we'd make this our back up plan! We got to the shilo. We walk in thru the guest door as usual, like we owned the place. We walked smoothly past the pool glancing to see if the guys had left......NOPE! The jerks were still there! We left the shilo, disappointed, but it was okay because we still had one more plan. Back to the guest house we headed.

We pulled in the parking lot, the blonde front desk girl watched us pull in. We parked by the door we new was unlocked and snuck in. We went to spa. The hot tub was pretty good sized. There was a mat on top of the water....we decided we weren't letting anything stop us any longer. We pulled the mat off and stuffed it behind the hot tub. Then we got in and it was not the warmest hot tub i've ever been in. actually it was a lot colder than my bath water. Oh well, we turned the jets on and we were hot tubbing!

Then we were thinking..."What if they come in and ask us what we're doing there." Amber then made up a wonderful story.... "Amber was walking along the greenbelt just minding her own business. Then all of a sudden, she stumbled upon me, a mermaid! She thought to herself, " mermaids don't belong on the land, they need to be in the water!" She scooped me up and decided I needed to be put in the water, and ran me over to this hotel. She through me in the ot tub and here we are. She's soaking up the H2O. "Oh look! She's grown legs!!!!" Well I guess we can go now!" Pretty good excuse huh?! I know, right. Well we decided sitting in a cold hot tub was dumb, and we left and went home. The bath tub was a lot better not gunna lie.
